Points to remember
- When assigning a territory to a crew, the active period of the crew (Start Date - End Date) in the territory should be such that the individual field technicians in the crew are also active in the territory during that period.
- During the time when a field technician is part of a crew, he will not be available as an individual resource.
- The number of active field technicians in the crew must not exceed the Crew size. Field technicians are active in a crew if their End Date is not in the past.
- You can add multiple territory entries for a crew as long as the active periods (Start Date - End Date) do not overlap.
